Seminar For Members Of Synod Of Diocese Of Musoma

Today and tomorrow, January 21 and 22, 2013, His Excellency, Rt. Rev. Bishop Michael Msonganzila, Bishop of Musoma Diocese, has convoked a special seminar for all elected members of the Sinod of Musoma Diocese, presided by a specialist of sinods in Tanzania, a priest from Bukoba Diocese. So, here we are, some 180 people - Bishop himself, priests, sisters, catechists, members of laity, invited guests - all elected by the Bishop by name in writing. The Sinod itself will be opened officially on the Pentecost Solemnity, May 19, this year, and will last two years. Your prayers are very much needed and appreciated!

Surprises

As I have sensed and predicted, based on my experience, the first day of the seminar on spiritual warfare brought some surprises. The seminar proceedings are the same as on previous occasion in April, but since the participants are different, the response is quite different.

Final Proofreading

Woke up alive this morning and checked my emails. Wow! Got two of them from my publishing house in Kraków - Wydawnictwo Petrus - with my book divided into two parts for easier downloading. Still, I don't know how it was possible - with this slow network speed here in the mountains - to download two parts, 6 Mb each! It must have been a miracle...

So, I guess, today, apart from seminar proceedings, in my free time, I will do some serious proofreading and checking the final shape of the book, with its layout, pictures, everything. Wish me luck! Some 600+ pages plus more than 500 pictures. A mountain to climb!

Now off to my duties. Praying for you as promised. God bless us all today!

Little Switzerland

So, after three hours of earnest driving, we (three sisters, driver and me) have arrived to Bura Motherhouse of the Congregation of Sisters of St. Joseph. It feels good to be back here. I love this place, located on a plateau surrounded from three sides by beautiful hills (I would rather call them mountains) and the opening in this crescent-shaped hills allowing for the twisted dirt road to wind its way around the slopes of Taita Hills. This area looks to me like a Little Switzerland, so beautiful and serene, so new every morning and every evening...
